Problem:

The customer tried to render embedded media for Facebook and Twitter posts using Toolset's Embedded Media custom post type, but the links were not displaying as intended. Only a simple link appeared, instead of the expected embedded content.

Solution:

We found that recent policy changes by Facebook and Twitter affect automatic embedding capabilities in WordPress. Toolset utilizes WordPress's built-in embedding function, which can no longer directly handle Facebook and Twitter embeds due to these updates. To embed content from these platforms, users need to retrieve the embed code manually:

• Facebook: Use the Facebook Developers page to generate an iframe embed code: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/embedded-posts/

• Twitter: Use Twitter’s Publish tool for the embed code. The embed code can be placed in a WYSIWYG custom field in Toolset for proper display: https://publish.twitter.com/
